Here, infection with adenovirus encoding shRNA against myocardin (Ad-myocardin shRNA) versus scramble shRNA abrogated PJ34- or shPARP1-induced expressional alteration of genes involved in VSMC contraction, proliferation and migration (Fig. 4g), as well as reduction in the neointima/media ratio of balloon-injured arteries (Supplementary Fig. 4a). Here, MYOCD is linked to infection.
